A new Wareham Girls Softball Association fundraiser hopes to have residents passing Go and collecting 200 fictional dollars for years to come.

Club fundraising Chair Kim Cormier said she got the idea for a Warehamopoly board, after searching fundraising ideas online. The board will give businesses “the opportunity to purchase an ad that will be placed on the board,” with their logo and phone number.

“It’s a one-time fee [for an ad], and fees are going to range between $25 and $300 a spot, depending on the spot on the board,” Cormier said. “It’s lifelong advertising.”

Cormier said the club aims to create 350 boards to sell, and plans to sell the boards for $30 each, “which is what a lot of specialty [game] boards go for.” She said she hopes it will raise around $15,000.

All proceeds will go towards the 140-girl club, which takes players in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. It will also go towards the revamping of the club’s new field in West Wareham, which the club leases from the town. The field, on which the team began playing last year, is in rough shape, Cormier said.

“It was pretty run down … we had to repair the irrigation system, so there will be grass where there should be,” Cormier said. “We want to [repair] the parking area, and make it more user-friendly.”

Cormier said a spruced-up field will also mean easier playing, as well as the potential to host some of the summer tournament games that are normally held along the Cape, but not in Wareham.

All repair and upkeep work is done by the parents of the girls in the league.

“They actually just put in a kindergarten through second grade field, which is half the size of a normal field,” Cormier said.

The money will also be used to buy the girls new equipment, a PA system, score boards, bleachers, and picnic tables for the newly-refurbished snack area. Cormier said the club will also use the money to subsidise those who can’t afford to join the club on their own, and curb the costs of the club’s upcoming winter program.

The winter program is a new, 13-week initiative meant to give the players practice in the off season, and will be held at The Cage in Marion. More information can be found on the league’s Facebook page.

“It’s all about bettering the girls, and bettering Wareham,” Cormier said.
